684: Chapter 673 684: Chapter 673 “What’s the reason?”
“Family honor.”
Song Yun fell silent.
He didn’t believe in such nonsensical family honor at all.
To him, this so-called honor was worth less than the cash in hand.
“Name your price,” Song Yun said.
“For that piece of land, I’ll pay you the downtown price.
It’s not a large area; I’ll offer fifty million!” War God extended five fingers as he spoke.
“Fifty million?” Song Yun was somewhat surprised.
It seemed that War God was really planning to buy the entire courtyard’s land.
“Yes, fifty million.
You should understand that fifty million can buy a piece of land twice this size in the city center!” War God said.
“I just want to fulfill the wishes of my ancestors.
Our family lost this land a long time ago and after they went abroad, they never came back to claim it.
Now that I finally have the means and the opportunity, I naturally want to do something for the older generation and settle their wishes.”
“War God, I won’t waste my time with nonsense.
Give me a billion, and I’ll sell the land to you,” Song Yun said with a squint and a smile.
“A billion?
Do you think this is the heart of Yanjing?” War God widened his eyes and said, “Song Yun, I sincerely want to buy back this land; are you playing games with me?”
“Are you playing games with me?” Song Yun laughed, “Don’t talk to me about any nonsensical family honor.
If you really had family honor, you would have come back and bought this land a long time ago, and it wouldn’t have come to me.
I have lived at that courtyard since I returned and for all this time, I haven’t seen you try to buy it from me.
It seems you must have discovered something to offer fifty million.
Let’s not beat around the bush, tell me, what exactly is hidden in this land?
Whether or not I sell it, we can discuss later.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” War God shook his head, “I really am just trying to redeem our family’s honor.
You might not know, but being driven away from our birth land has always been the greatest shame for our family.
That’s why we want to buy it back now, and after purchasing, I plan to demolish the place and rebuild the ancestral home.
I can assure you of this.”
“Haha, since you’re not intending to tell the truth, then I’m sorry, but I’m not selling the land!” Song Yun said with a smile.
“Of course, feel free to demolish it whenever you like.
You’re always welcome!”
“Do you think I won’t dare?” War God’s demeanor suddenly exploded.
“Don’t think just because you have strong intuition, I can’t defeat you!”
“It seems that last time we clashed, it was you who ran away,” Song Yun said, his demeanor as sharp as a drawn sword, cleaving War God’s aura in two.
“Fine!
Very well!” War God nodded and said, “I’ll ask one more time, will you sell, or not?”
“I’ll tell you again, either you honestly tell me your intent, or I won’t sell,” Song Yun said.
“Okay then, I’ll tell you.” War God suddenly sat down.
Song Yun paused in surprise.
What’s going on now?
It was just like last time when War God suddenly ran off in the middle of the battle, appearing very resolute and impressive, yet quickly changing his stance.
Could it be that War God naturally likes doing this?
Or has he gone crazy, enjoying putting on a show?
“Are you really going to tell me?” Song Yun asked in confusion.
“Of course, don’t you really want to know?” War God shrugged casually.
“Since you want to know, I might as well tell you; it doesn’t hurt.”
“This…” In that instant, Song Yun hesitated, unsure whether the forthcoming information from War God was genuine or a fabrication, as War God didn’t seem at all like a master—have you ever seen a master with no fixed stance or one who runs when he can’t win?
Can his words be trusted?
That is quite unreliable.
“Are you going to listen?
If so, I’ll talk, and after that, you can do as you see fit,” War God said.
“Listen!” Song Yun thought there was no harm in listening and sat down on the balcony chair, looking at War God, waiting for him to speak.
“Here’s the thing!” War God gathered his emotions before continuing, “Our family, in fact, wasn’t much interested in this place previously.
Although the old folks mentioned there was something valuable under this land, that was decades ago.
If there really was something valuable, it would have been dug up by now.
Even if there’s still something valuable, after so many years, the area is neither too large nor too small; how would you dig it up without anyone noticing?
It’s essentially impossible!
Therefore, our family didn’t care much about the so-called valuable thing before.”
“And then?” Song Yun asked.
“Then, it’s pretty simple,” War God shrugged.
“Through some information obtained, the family confirmed that there really is something valuable in this land and even have a rough idea of the location.
So, they sent me here to buy your land, and then start digging.
That’s just how it is, whether you believe it or not is beyond my concern.”
“Didn’t they tell you what the valuable thing is?” Song Yun asked.
“The family isn’t sure either.
Don’t bother asking anymore; what I just told you is all I know.
Actually, my main purpose today isn’t to make you sell the land to me but to discuss a joint venture, a collaboration between us two,” War God laughed.
“Joint development?
Why didn’t you say that earlier instead of trying to buy the land?” Song Yun asked.
“If I could buy it for fifty million, then I’d reap all the benefits.
Why would I want to develop it together with you?” War God said matter-of-factly.
“…,” Song Yun was speechless, realizing that War God’s previous intention to buy the land was with the casual hope of finding the so-called valuable thing, but the real intent was to search for it together with him.
“Are you so sure that the valuable thing is on this land?” Song Yun asked.
“Absolutely sure!” War God grinned.
“I even know exactly where it is.”
“Why are you seeking cooperation with me?” Song Yun asked.
“You could have just secretly come and dug it up if you know the precise location.”
“Didn’t you say, here in Sunan, anyone who dares forcibly demolish your stuff is on a one-way street to death?
I’m just afraid of dying,” War God said, laughing.
Though he mentioned fear, his face showed no fear at all.
After pondering for a moment, Song Yun said, “Tell me then, where exactly is it?”
Grinning at Song Yun, War God said, “If I tell you now, and you keep it all to yourself, where would I go to cry?”
